I think the simplest (and correct) way to solve America’s tax problem is to admit that the system of government we have (that is, republic, not democracy) was planned out very carefully in the Constitution to balance power, not just among the three federal branches, but between the states and the central government. Thus, upsetting that balance (by having a federal government outside the bounds of constitutional law, for instance) we create an unsustainable mess. We must cut spending, programs, and bureaus so much that the federal government is the size it was designed to be and then we will have no need for an income tax or any bizarre form of federal sales tax.
